First sentence is wrong:

The children of both my uncle are adopted.

???????
If you want to change my choice, it can be "My two uncle's children are also adopted.".
But I suppose there isn't a big differance.

Disagree. It should be as I wrote above.

Come on, guys!
I'm a bit upset by the eternal disagreement that has grown between you. That only makes evaluations difficult and tiring.

Could you please stop that tiff?

The children of both my uncle are adopted
My two uncle's children are also adopted

The sentence that's up there is wrong, Lilian. My suggestion is "The children of both my uncle are adopted.". If you find this incorrect, so be it. But I don't agree this translation is correct.

In other words, "both my uncles have adopted children."

Let's see if I understand.

Do you mean that the meaning is wrong?

If so, I don't see that much difference.

All the sentences (when written correctly) mean about the same: I have some cousins who were adopted.

both my uncles ---> my two uncles/two uncles of mine/two of my uncles (if I have more uncles)

> Two brothers of my mother have also adopted children

This is an action carried out by the person's uncles.

Yes Mesud,

I see that "There are two uncles and both of them have adopted children" so...

We can express that by:

Two uncles of mine/Two of my uncles have adopted children (in case I have more than 2 uncles)

My two uncles have adopted children (if I have only two uncles)

Now, tell me which one would convey the meaning better? Does the sentence in Turkish make that clear?

None of them. No one has adopted children. The writer says the children are adopted.

Could you please tell me what is the difference between these two sentences?

He has adopted a child.
His child is adopted.

I'm extremely puzzled here.

It's simple:

He has adopted a child.
(here "adopted" is the past participle of the verb "adopt" as part of the present perfect used in the sentence)

His child is adopted. (here "adopted" is an adjective)

But the only problem here is that we must define what is the important information the line wants to pass.

Is it that "someone in my family adopted a child" or is it that "there are some people in my family who are adopted"?

Now I got it The line has two senses and would make readers confused.

> Is it that "someone in my family adopted a child" or is it that "there are some people in my family who are adopted"?

The latter, of course.

OK. Then, I think the best versions would be:

"The children my two uncles have are adopted" (all were adopted)
"My uncles have (2,3 some) children who were adopted"

or simply:

"I have some adopted cousins"

Hmm.. If I were to be true to the source text, I'd go with the first option.
